The original logic of the 360° IP strategy starts with a simple but demanding idea: IP must be designed from the customer benefit backwards. The question is not first “What have we invented?” or “What can we file?” The better question is: “What does t ...

For many IP experts, the idea that “good work should speak for itself” is not a naive belief. It comes from a professional culture built on precision, substance and responsibility. In intellectual property, credibility is earned through technical dept ...

A growing number of developments in the photonics market point to a structural mismatch. Companies are no longer developing only isolated lenses, lasers, optical sensors or specialised laboratory equipment. They are building light-based technology sys ...

Quantum technology is no longer only a matter of scientific promise. It is becoming a field of engineering choices, commercial roadmaps, investment decisions and international protection strategies. As quantum computing, quantum communication and quan ...

When The 360° IP Strategy was first developed, its central message was already a departure from the traditional way many companies thought about intellectual property. IP was not presented as a legal afterthought, a reward for inventors, or a filing a ...

Quantum technologies are no longer only a scientific promise. They are becoming an industrial, policy and investment field in which patent strategy, collaboration architecture, market access, security, funding and standardisation begin to interact. Th ...
